Vanilla Cake Recipe

I realized it last week only that I haven't posted simple vanilla cake yet in my space !! So without rambling much I will simply move on to today's simple basic Vanilla Cake. And please bear with me for posting picture of cake in that tin!!! I was in such a hurry that I forgot to take pictures later. Whenever next time I prepare another vanilla cake, I will make sure to present with vigor. Till then hope you enjoy relishing the taste of this simple vanilla cake.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups of All purpose flour

3/4 cup to 1 cup Sugar according to your taste

3/4 cup unsalted Butter

2 Eggs, room temperature

½ cup Milk

1 tsp Vanilla essence

1 tsp Baking powder

Pinch of salt

Method:

Pre-heat oven to 180 Degrees C. Grease and flour a cake pan. In a large mixing bowl, beat sugar and butter till it becomes smooth. Then add one egg at a time and beat the mixture for few seconds. Add vanilla essence, milk and mix again. Sieve flour, baking powder and salt together. Now add dry ingredients to wet and stir well. Do not over beat the mixture. Pour the batter into the greased baking pan and bake it for 30-35 minutes or until golden and the edges start to pull away from the sides of pan. Remove the pan from the oven and allow it to cool. Flip the cake over a wire rack and enjoy this plain vanilla flavour cake with a cuppa.

Vanilla cake looks soft, spongy and yummy. Perfectly baked and I will try to prepare this in weekend. Thanks for this lovely recipe.If time permits please visit my blog as I have not received your comments in my last 2 posts.

For obvious reasons I have not been very active on the internet. Glad to know you are my father's fan. Know something the vanilla cake reminds of mum. My mum who tried her hand at cooking all types of stuff never baked a cake. Although she knew how it was done she had seen her mother bake it but she herself never tried it. I decided to learn to bake a simple vanilla cake from a friend and this was the only item of food which I made myself and not mum.
